They betrayed and mistreated Messi, now they pay Karma and FIFA gives them a blow
FIFA shows no mercy against this team.
In the last hours before the closing of the transfer market, Barcelona has been the talk of the town. If there was one thing the 'Culé' team needed, it was to cover the right-back position. Although Xavi Hernandez varies between Sergi Roberto, when the matches require more offensive contribution from that sector, and Jules Koundé or Ronald Araújo, when the situation is the other way around, the coach does not have a player who naturally occupies that position.
Against the clock, Barcelona's Director of Football Mateu Alemany had reached an agreement with the directors of Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer (MLS) for the transfer of 21-year-old Mexican defender Julián Araujo. The deal would be closed at a figure close to 4 million euros and the right back would join the blaugrana team.

However, Alemany publicly admitted a mistake that called into question the arrival of the Mexican winger. "We did not send the documents because of a computer error," he explained. He also assured that he would wait for FIFA's decision, since the delay was only 18 seconds, so he opened some light of hope.
What was FIFA's decision?
Despite the illusion of Alemany and Barcelona, journalist Tom Bogert, an authorized voice for working in MLS, reported that the International Federation will remain firm in its position and, due to the delay in sending the paperwork, will not authorize the transfer of Julian Araujo to Barcelona. Despite attempts by both parties, FIFA will not make any exception to the case.
